I realized I was taking far more snapshots of things when I go out than I could realistically throw on my gallery and I really don't like wasting a nice shot.
So take less pictures! Nooo where is the fun in that
Instead, I joined and on their stock account.
Here: They're both talented at what they do and I'm just trying to keep up Either way, it doesn't hurt to look there if you need some stock or just want to look at my excess pictures

Other than that, summer is in full swing here at last. Took until august to get any form of decent weather here this year and in a funny turn of events... I'm already sick of humidity and heat! Suree I complained about the long cold and wanting some normal weather but going from one extreme to the other in a matter of days is just... killer.
But, thats what AC is for, right?

So, quite admittedly I've been slacking alot of things. One of them, my watchlist. Quite honestly, the people I watch are all so amazing, I could fave most/all of their galleries (and up to the point where I sort of disappeared I think I more or less did just that). Add alot of people I have on bookmark rather than watch from my pre-membership days (slack, again) as well as new discoveries I will inevitably make and you'll see I'm quite behind on alot of things.

Right now..there's so much in my watch notice, I don't know if I should fave it all anyway and in process, really spam the heck out of those people or be more selective in what I actually DO fave. Either way its gonna take me ages to go through everything and I don't think I'll be able to comment on every individual piece I will end up fav'ing. I will, if nothing else, try to leave a general comment of appreciation somewhere as I catch up.

However, if I'll be too slow or happen to forget someone, please know this: You people are amazing artists, photographers, models (either/any that apply). I truly enjoy, love and appreciate your work, as I am sure many many others do. You all rock, no questions asked!
Thank you!

Hi!
So yea another update after months of hibernation. I've been to strange places in my head but thats neither here nor there. Bottomline is, its not freezing cold anymore and I got a new fancy camera to use!
Its alot of fun and kinda scary all at once. I have not had a camera since the stone ages (film...yikes!) so I feel like a complete newbie at this.
Its intimidating in ways, but its what I wanted. It gives me something new to learn and reasons to get out of the house for more than shopping trips

I already took a tour through a tourist heavy area of this city and plan to follow up with different themes of things I can find to snap around this place. Way I see it, I could read the manual of my camera all day long but I'll get a much better grasp of making good pictures by going out there and just doing things. So that is what I'm gonna be doing and hopefully won't lose my creativity edge again. Summer is not the right time to hibernate!

Just in case someone ends up liking my pics and wants to use them in manipulations, I don't mind as long as proper credit is given to me. I do take all shots in 3648*2736 resolution (primarily for my own editing purposes) if that'll be preferred by anyone.

Cheers!

So, yea. My projected break of a few weeks turned out to be..well, substantially longer. Summertime happened. Slack happened. Life happened. I got not only distracted but have the weirdest creativity blockade ever.

I have had plenty of thoughts, ideas and plans for images and storywriting in my head but the moment I would sit down to write or open photoshop my mind goes absolutely blank. Ideas gone, motivation zero.. just awful! I hate it! It cleared a bit, but I still very much feel its annoying presence in my head and have no clue why, but it sucks.

In addition, I'm still putting off getting a new camera (various reasons) so really, I'm not sure where I stand right now with my freak-blockade. I'll throw stuff into my gallery but frequency may vary until whenever this thing in my mind goes away. That, or until my head explodes because all my thoughts will pile up, unable to get out..until there's no more room!

All that aside however, I'm alive, well and enjoy myself more often than not and that.. is fine in my book!

Yea I know, I know. I haven't put up new stuff for pretty much..ever. Life's been busy, and most unfortunately my bills do not pay themselves. I have a few projects in mind, it is my hope stuff will leave me alone shortly so I can get those ideas out of my head. They don't like it in there. Too dark, they say. Too bizarre. I tell them to shut up but they're not really listening, ya know?

Anyway! Understandably, my priority is to keep rent paid and my fridge full of food. I will find time to get art done. Soon!
Cheers!
